Literary Elements Review

Answer:

​Literary elements are special effects in writing that add creativity and pizzazz to texts such as poems, stories, or narrative fiction. Some examples are SIMILE, METAPHOR, HYPERBOLE, RHYME, REPETITION, ALLITERATION, ALLUSION, ASSONANCE, SYMBOLISM, PERSONFICIATION, IMAGERY, UNDERSTATEMENT, & ONOMATOPOEIA.

They are BOTH comparisons.

Similes use "LIKE" or "AS." Be careful, though. The presence of these two words does NOT automatically make a simile. There needs to be a COMPARISON between TWO SIMILAR things.

​

Metaphors are DIRECT comparisons. They compare two things by saying something is something it is not. Often, when students find a literary element they cannot identify, it's a metaphor. ​

Some text here about the topic of discussion

Imagery is description that appeals to the five senses. It makes you feel like you are actually there.​

Imagery is NOT the words TASTE, TOUCH, SIGHT, SOUND, & SMELL. It is detailed descriptions of flavors, textures, colors, shapes, noises, and scents.

LOOK FOR ADJECTIVES!!​
